Learn More About Hannah
Bio highlights: Hannah joined Legal Aid of North Carolina in 2025 as a Case Coordinator on our Pro Bono Programs team. She works from our Asheville office and focuses on our pro bono efforts for survivors of Tropical Storm Helene. This is her second stint with our firm, having served as a paralegal with our Senior Law Project from 2019 to 2021. Her other prior experience includes service at a patent law firm in Morrisville, a legal-technology company in Chicago, a South Carolina patent firm, and South Carolina’s probation and parole agency. She earned her paralegal certification from NALA in 2020 after graduating with an associate degree in paralegal studies. She also has a master’s in criminal behavior, a bachelor’s in criminal justice and sees law school as a potential path in the future. About her reason for returning to Legal Aid NC and her interest in law school, Hannah says, “Having worked in IP and corporate law, I want to be back on the side of practice where helping people is the primary focus. The legal arena is complex and typically you encounter people who need help to navigate it on their worst day. Making sure they have the support they need is my absolute goal.”
